One for the larger scale aficionados?

I was going to buy it, but this is one of the cases shipping kills the deal...

To be perfectly honest, I'll leave it for you guys, I haven't got the space for a fourth T34. . . .

If I was closer, I’d go and take loads of pictures...

But then I’d have to buy a T-34/85!

It looks to be in remarkably good nick for a 74yr old but it doesn't say how long its current MOT is valid and l suspect the tyres will be shot. Not sure if Goodyear still make them.

So.. they are asking for offers so if we all chipped in a fiver we could probably raise, what, say..... 500 quid between us? Shall l give it a go? Just think, the only 'toy tank' forum with a real T34! I'm sure it would be able to tow a trailer to get all our junk to a show too. Might cause a few jams though.

Does anyone live near enough to check the local classified? 70,000? Or the newsagent window? 60,000?

It all makes my suggested offer of 500 quid more likely to be accepted.

BTW, will it run on paraffin or do we need to use premium grade diesel?
